What is recorded here
Catstycam is a small peak in the Lake District, rising to approximately 620 metres. It is part of the broader fells of the area, composed mainly of volcanic and sedimentary rocks from the Ordovician period. The name may derive from a combination of Celtic and Old English, though specific folklore is not well recorded. Its inclusion on historical maps highlights its local significance in the topography of Westmorland.
